14 Chapter 13

(Finally 15 years .... Again).

Unlike the Earth in Esdrul when a person turns 15 they are considered of age, it was something a bit crazy from my point of view.

A few months had passed since my meeting with Nana and during that time I visited her a few times, on one occasion I asked her about her husband and she told me that he had sent her a letter telling her not to worry about him and to bring the letter to the Adventurer's guild to collect money that I had sent, that intrigued me so I decided to investigate a little about the subject, at the end in one of the books I found information in which it said that in the guilds either Adventurers, Merchants o Mercenaries could be used as banks, either to save or withdraw money, even the merchants' guilds functioned as moneylenders.

Leaving the guilds aside, I created new skills for a few days that was very boring, the first one I created was Invisibility, this was one of the skills that I always wanted to have on Earth although I only thought about things like robbing banks and things for the style with her; What the ability does is make my whole body transparent including clothes and weapons, this ability took me about two weeks to get it to work, its expense is not a big deal since it used up mana as it was used, which makes it a active skill, but since its expense was not high at all, it was easy for me to keep the skill activated as long as I wanted, the only problem with the skill was that it only hides my physical form since although the sound and my presence are completely invisible they were detectable, but it was still an excellent skill.

Although I was invisible, my presence was still missing so I developed a new ability to solve that problem, and after working for a whole week I managed to create Hide, based on the theme of suppressing a person's Aura, I implemented this ability resulting in a skill that manages to disappear my presence one hundred percent, the expense of that skill was similar to Invisibility only with the difference that it spent even less mana but still spent, therefore it is still an active ability.

With the visibility and presence parts covered, only the sound part was missing, so Stealth believes, using the wind magic as a basis I managed to create this ability, its functionality was wonderful since the ability absolutely hid every noise that I produced with my body, to test the skill I entered the forest until I reached some goblins that were walking through the forest, I activated Stealth to avoid being discovered, I walked until I was just a few meters from the goblins and without realizing it I stood on a dry branch, but the branch did not make any noise at all when breaking, I kept testing the skill by breaking more branches but they did not emit any sound implying that the skill had been a total success, its mana cost was something that I tried to reduce by achieving successfully a constant expenditure of almost the same amount as Hide therefore the ability also ended up being active.

After creating those three skills I was left wanting more so I decided to start with more attack skills, the first one that came to mind was Magic Arrow, this skill was very obvious that I had based on Sword when creating it alone With the difference that these had much more range, resulting in a remote control arrow capable of going through rocks, iron and even steel, the cost of this I managed to make it even lower than Swords but like Swords it ended up being another ability active.

Continuing with the ranged attack skills I focused on a practical skill and at a cost of only about five mana points, I thought for a long time until I remembered the weapons of my world, the pistols; The first thing was to think about what the bullet was going to be, but I remembered one of the main failures of firearms, the ammunition.

It was useless to have a gun if you did not have the ammunition, therefore, I had to use something that would never run out, the first thing that occurred to me was the air, but after trying again and again I could never achieve that the bullets had a lot of damage, therefore, I dismissed the idea, kept thinking about what to use and in the end I decided to use my own mana.

My first attempts were completely a failure since each projectile loaded it with a lot of mana and it was destabilized causing an explosion, after several errors I managed to stabilize the projectile correctly, but even so I was a bit intrigued so I decided to modify the ability by adding it two more shooting modes.

In the end I ended up having the normal mode, the burst mode and the sniper mode, the differences between these were that in the burst mode many more shots were fired since it was continuous, and in the sniper mode it fired projectiles at an extraordinary distance, but the cadence was considerably reduced; To use this ability all I had to take into account was to have the objective in sight, once I had the objective in my sights it was only to point it with the index finger of my hand and activate the ability, my first objectives were some dolls of ground that I created, the normal shot made a small hole in it and the continuous one destroyed them, but the sniper made them destroyed, in fact the shot destroyed much more than I thought resulting in a hole of about five square meters, which I found it more interesting that because the ability only used pure mana it did not make any noise at all, although when hitting something if a small noise was heard.

At the beginning I used the Shooting sniper mode I could not aim very well since with my sight I could not see my targets well, after shooting like three bullets at a doll and not being able to hit it I got angry and decided to create an ability that would help me, That's how Telescope created, this ability only fulfills a function which is to improve the view to such a level that I could even see the forest ants carrying food for their nest from the city, I tried again the sniper mode from the city to a doll I was in my practice zone, obviously the result was a success, the only drawbacks were that I had to do the active skill and that its consumption was even higher than Swords.

With several battle skills ready I realized that I did not have any ability to help me protect someone or something, I came up with ideas like creating a shield but that would be useless on some occasions so I discarded the idea, I thought for For a while and I remembered some anime and movie scenes where some people had force fields that repelled any attack, I practically spent the whole day thinking about how to create a force field similar to the ones I had seen, as a result after three days of I created the Barrier ability, the only function of this ability was to create a kind of field around anything or living being, the shape of this I made it varied since I did not decide which way to leave it, its color was not very important so I decided to leave it pale yellow, the size of the Barrier was varied and therefore it may help to cover from a simple ant to a complete city or more, but the mana expenditure i n would increase considerably, the mana consumption of this is not a great thing but the greater the Barrier the expenditure increases little by little, the resistance of this was one of the things that I could not prove much since in the forest I tried it by enclosing it Some monsters, but as these were very weak, they did not cause the least damage possible after having locked them up for about an hour and when I hit it, it was instantly destroyed, therefore it was not very clear to me how much damage it could withstand.

Another function that I added to this was that when creating a Barrier it does not consume mana by keeping it materialized but only when creating it, that way you can create several Barriers and leave them there until someone destroys them or I decide to deactivate them.

Having several active abilities I realized that the passives were very few and therefore I decided to create some passives, I thought of creating a passive attack ability but I could not think of any and therefore I decided better to improve my defense since, although not I had been harmed by some monster to date, there were still quite a few creatures that I did not know and it was better not to trust me.

Using Barrier practically I managed to create magic armor, its only function was to create a layer of pure mana around my entire body, the color of this was completely invisible, I tested its resistance by trying to break it using Mithril swords but they did not even break, When I hit it with my fist, I could break it with a simple blow and therefore the fact of its resistance was not very clear to me, but what I liked was that I managed to make it passive.

After creating all those skills I realized a great failure that I had for a long time and that I had not noticed until now, I found out about it when it occurred to me to use several skills at the same time, all good when using three , but when I tried to use four skills I couldn't do it since that was the limit of skills that I could use, when I found out about it I started working on a skill that allowed me to use more than three.

After working for about a week I managed to complete the definitive ability, Multi-abilities, although the name was not very original I did not want to break my head trying to find a name for it, the function of the ability was just like its name, I It allowed to use several skills at the same time, its limit could not be reached since I used all the active skills that I had at the same time and did not observe any problem therefore the skill could support at least three times my active skills or more already that the cost of mana I had spent on it exceeded two hundred thousand, but even spending all that mana it had been worth it since the ability made it passive.

I think that with all these abilities I am turning into a monster .... No, I only did them to defend myself and to protect my loved ones-Kasumi.

I was lying under a tree in the woods after I had gone to do a few goblin extermination, I was a bit bored in the mansion and I was always fascinated to go out and stretch my body a bit.

Well now for a walk-Kasumi.

..........................

It had already been about three months since I had turned fifteen and therefore at that age I could already join a guild, obviously the only one I considered joining was the adventurer, when I told my parents about the subject they refused flatly, they told me it was too dangerous and a lot of things that I didn't pay much attention to, but after telling them that my power was much more than Kurotsu's, things got calmer but still they refused, to convince him I asked one of the guards to lend me the sword that he was carrying, my parents did not understand what I was trying to do but they did not stop me, I grabbed the sword with both hands and moved it in a horizontal cut towards my own neck, my parents were they altered when they saw my action but before they could say anything the sword shattered when it hit my neck.

The guards, my parents and some of the maids of the place were in complete shock when they looked at that, after that show of resistance my parents accepted, after they accepted I went to the adventurer's guild to sign up.

As the guild was a bit far from the house I decided to go flying and also with my abilities to hide my presence and my body, when I was already a little close I decided to walk, after a few minutes I arrived at a three-story building, the building It looked imposing, it was like an anti nuclear bomb bunker, on the door of this there was a sign of a few square meters that said "Adventurers Guild" and under those letters a shield which consisted of two crossed swords with the head of a dragon in the center.

Without more thinking I decided to enter the guild, when I opened the door I thought that the people who were inside were going to see me but I was wrong since they did not bother to turn to see me, that did not bother me at all since I preferred it to be Thus, without stopping, I kept walking until I was in front of a counter where behind it were five girls who were wearing the same uniform, the five were busy talking with different adventurers and that is why I decided to wait while observing instead.

From what I could see with the naked eye, the place had a dining room, a tavern and the reception on the same floor, the other two floors still had no idea what could be on these, I was waiting for a few minutes and so I looked at one of the receptionists was free so I went to her to check in, the receptionist had short purple hair with light purple eyes and white skin, without a doubt a beauty that many men would fight for her.

Welcome to the adventurer's guild, how can I help you? -Receptionist.

Thank you, I would like to join the Adventurer Guild-Kasumi.

Well, fill out this sheet and come when you're done, okay-Receptionist.

Yes-Kasumi.

She gave me a sheet with some spaces where she asked for some information such as name, age, sex, race, if she knew how to use magic or a specific weapon and also nationality, after filling out the entire sheet I gave it to the receptionist again.

Ready-Kasumi.

Now stop by-Receptionist.

The receptionist grabbed the sheet and led me to a separate room where there was an orb that looked the same as the orbs to see the State only that it was different since, unlike the others, the size of the one in the room was much higher .

Put her hand on the orb and pour her mana over it, don't stop supplying her with mana until I tell you-Receptionist.

I did what she asked me and in a matter of seconds the orb began to shine a white color, the receptionist when looking at that put the sheet that she had previously filled on the orb, when the sheet was placed on the orb this change to a color yellow and then a green one followed by that the blade burned in seconds on the orb, I was a little surprised by everything that was happening but my amazement was more when I looked at how a small silver card came out of the upper part of the orb, the card looked like a bank credit card.

Ohhh he's already silver rank one, have you fought monsters before? -Receptionist.

Yes, sometimes-Kasumi.

That explains why he's a silver rank one-Receptionist.

Can you explain that about the ranges? I don't really understand that topic-Kasumi.

Yes-Receptionist.

The receptionist began to explain to me how the ranks worked and some extra things, according to what she told me the ranks were divided from the lowest to the highest starting from Iron, Copper, Silver, Gold, White Gold, Mithril and Diamond, apart From that the ranks were divided by levels, being these as Iron I, Iron II, Iron III, Copper I, Copper II, Copper III and so on until reaching Diamantina III being that the highest rank, although according to what the receptionist no one has managed to reach the rank of Diamantina III, the closest they have come was an adventurer who reached Mithril III but that had been many years ago.

According to the words of the receptionist, the way to rise in rank was almost like leveling up, only with the difference that it took much more experience to achieve a rank, once all the required experience was completed, ranking up was optional, although If you had a pretty good potential when you registered, the orb would choose your rank according to your Statistics, luckily for me I had previously modified my Statistics leaving them above a thousand points and that is why according to the orb my rank had to be Silver I.

What the card allowed to show was the name, a surname, age, race and it also had the shield of the guild in the center and in the lower right corner it had the rank number being mine I.

Do you understand? -Receptionist.

Yes-Kasumi.

Remember that your guild card is very important and therefore should not be lost, otherwise you will be charged a fee of five silver for the renewal-Receptionist.

I'll keep that in mind, and about the missions-Kasumi.

True, the missions are divided according to the color of the seal, those of rank Iron I to III are white, those of rank Copper I to III are blue, those of rank Silver I to III are yellow, those of Gold rank I to III are green, those of White Gold rank I to III are purple, those of Mithril rank I to III are red and those of Diamond rank I to III are black although those we never have-receptionist.

I see-Kasumi.

In each stamp will be the level of each mission so I don't think you can go wrong-Receptionist.

But even being Silver rank, can I do Copper rank missions? -Kasumi.

Yes you can, although that is not usually done-Receptionist.

Mmmm well I understand, thanks for everything ... this ...- Kasumi.

Liz, that's my name-Liz.

I am Kasumi, nice to meet you, Liz-Kasumi.

Likewise, Kasumi-Liz.

We left the room of records and each one returned to his own thing, I walked to one of the walls of the guild where there were many sheets of paper placed, that was the mission board, I looked through the missions of my rank and I found some to subjugate ten Horned boars, I did not think much about the matter and simply took the paper off the board and took it to one of the receptionists, the receptionist told me that I had until dark the next day to finish the mission, otherwise it would be put back on the board and would have to pay a fee for accepting a mission that he could not complete.

According to the mission it said that only the nuclei were necessary and therefore the bodies were useless for them, I accepted the mission and withdrew from the guild, obviously in my Inventory I had several Wild Boar nuclei and therefore I decided to go for a walk to the city while the Time passed, after a couple of hours I returned to the guild to leave the cores, the mission was completed successfully and thus I earned my first reward in the adventurers guild.
